╔══════════════════════════════[ RELEASE NOTES ]══════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ After coming together almost six months prior, Tripledub played ║
║ their inaugural show in the first week of 2002, in San Luis Obispo ║
║ CA. Immediately, this powerful trio began creating music from ║
║ influences across reggae, funk, rock, and hip hop, while earning ║
║ respect from a wide range of music lovers through an aggressive ║
║ schedule of live performance. With the new debut album Here in ║
║ California now available, Tripledub seems to be at the top of their ║
║ game. ║
║ Tripledub has been blessed with unprecedented progress around their ║
║ local club circuit, thanks to hard work, experience, and passion ║
║ for music. Within nine months of getting started, this band had ║
║ already played their own full, two-set show at San Luis Obispo's ║
║ premier venue to a huge crowd of carousing patrons. ║
║ Since then, Tripledub has become a local party favorite on ║
║ California's central coast. "The whole idea was to have fun and ║
║ play gigs," says drummer Brent Vander Weide, "but when you see a ║
║ club full of people dancing and singing along with your music, the ║
║ purpose becomes more meaningful." ║
║ Tripledub has performed on a wide variety of California stages. ║
║ From Winston's of San Diego to the Morro Bay Harbor Festival, and ║
║ on up to the San Simeon Reggae Festival. The trio has shared some ║
║ of these stages with Long Beach Shortbus, Eek-A-Mouse, The ║
║ Expendables, The Upbeat, Psydecar, Boom Shaka, The Messengers, ║
║ Samdada, A.L.O., and Elijah Emmanuel & The Revelations (among ║
║ others). ║
║ Tripledub's rapid success is no accident. The band's music is a ║
║ fresh blend of reggae, funk, rock and hip hop that moves toddlers, ║
║ teens, and old-timers alike. The band names Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, ║
║ and Israel Vibration as influence right along with Sublime, Jane's ║
║ Addiction, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Actually, the list of ║
║ influences they would name is too long to print, but hopefully you ║
║ get the point. ║
║ Tripledub is comprised of guitarist Chris Johnson, drummer Brent ║
║ Vander Weide and bassist Scott Applegate. Johnson carries the ║
║ majority of vocal responsibilities with some help from his drummer. ║
║ On occasion, the band welcomes steel drummer Ross McGinnis to the ║
║ stage, and have "utilized his amazing talent" for the CD as well. ║
║ The new album, Here In California, also features performances by ║
║ Tre Hardson (The Pharcyde), George Pajon Jr. (The Black Eyed Peas), ║
║ Chuck Prada (The Black Eyed Peas, Robert Walter's...) and others. ║
